More recently, you have agreed to help the local Daimyo calm a river spirit. Your friend Yuki attacked you for some reason, but you knocked him out using guile and misdirection. After, a turtle agreed to take you to see said river spirit on its back. It may seem like a two week journey to some, but really it was only a few hours! Luckily you spend that time descending down into the river in luxury, otherwise that would have been really annoying! This turtle has all the amenities, cool!

hmmmm.... wait a minute... eureka! You got it!!!The reason Yuki is so strange is because... he is a VIRGIN! Of course, it all makes sense when you see it through that lens! From the fruity way he acts, to his obliviousness! He just has never known the touch of a women! Why is he so fast? Why is he so obsessed with his job? Why has he never made a move? All easily answered by lacking that laid back swagger of someone who has done the sideways nasty.How does that explain him being passed out on the side of the road? Well, virgins area always passing out from exhaustion (probably). You wouldn't know because you lost your V card some months ago. Heh, to think you used to be just like him.Looking back at how oddly sneaky Yuki was and how all those people were conveniently asleep. Well, that's all explained in the same hand wavy way. Now that you think about it even his clan name is strange. But at this point you, have already convinced yourself by that undeniable truth of never being wrong about anything!Now that it has been settled forever and for all time.

You arrive at the temple with Yuki in hand to find it much less abandoned then you assumed. It turns out eight monks are still living here! Each is a candidate to take charge of the temple, but non have made the move since only the head monk seems to be going missing...They are not please to see an Oni. However after explaining your situation, showing the talisman given to you by the Daimyo, and explaining that you are helping a special investigator from the capital, they are more or less forced to accept you. Oddly enough they seem more upset at your shrine maiden half then your Oni half! The monks see shrine maidens as LAZY! They couldn't even exorcise the demon living in the temple! Monks are very busy interpreting the works of the great buddha and cant be tasked with such things! In fact, the lazy shrine maidens haven't even been translating the great works lately so they have nothing to ponder on! Outrages!Your training teaches you to apologize to the monks on behalf of your maiden sisters... Monks are very important!

As far as I can tell, no non-demon can lie. This means any monk that is vouched for is not the demon, i.e. only A/F/H can be the demon.Either A or F work: if A is demon (false+evil), B is the conspirator (true+evil) pointing out A as the demon, D is good and points out B as the evil conspirator, and everyone else is vouching for a fellow good monkIf F is demon, G is conspirator and everyone else is good. B is pointing G out as an evil conspirator and D is pointing F out as the evil demon, everyone else is vouching for a fellow good monk

I have to agree, it's all recursive - for example, start wirh G.If G is lying, then F would also, so that's not possible. If F is lying and G is evil but truthful, then B would be also lying, so that can't be true either. But if B is lying then A is also lying, and since that can't be true, then A must be lying.So yeah, A liar and B evil but truthful.

I decided to take another look at this, but this time with the assumption that the Demon is NOT EVIL. The "absolute truths" technically don't assert the demon is evil. There is no way to logically prove the Demon is evil since it's unclear if the Demon counts as a monk of not.
I am also assuming liars say the exact opposite of the truth.A cannot be the liar because B's statement would be false.
If B is the liar, then either E or F could be evil.
C cannot be the liar because B's statement would be false.
If D is the liar, then A is evil
E violates the "absolute truths" by not saying anything. If he's good he's supposed to tell the truth. If he's evil he's supposed to lie. Ergo either the "absolute truths" are wrong or E is neither good nor evil. Monk E can't possibly be "neutral" if he were, then both Monks A and F would be evil while Monk G is the Demon. Regardless, E can never be the Demon because he doesn't lie.
F cannot be the liar because D's statement would be false.
G cannot be the liar because B's statement would be false.
H cannot be the liar because D's statement would be false.This leaves B and D as the only viable liars. It also means D is the only liar that proves the evilness of another monk.
Ergo if the Demon is not EVIL, then the Demon is actually Monk D and the EVIL (but truthful) monk is Monk A.

its either ab (with demon: a) or fg (with demon: f). af is only possible if the demon is allowed to say the truth (which i dont interpret that way - "absolute truths" -> "demon ... will lie".base:
- 8 monks
- 7 of them tell the truth
- 1 of them lies
- 2 of them are evil (i assume that the demon is evil - the wording doesnt say it specifically: but b and d are contradictionary then which means in that case one of them must be lying -> contradiction with a/c which voucher for them, but cant be lying)thought process:
- as soon as x vouchers for y (x: "y is good") y must tell the truth (because either its true, or x is the demon and y cant lie)
-> b,c,d,e,g are true AND cannot be the demon
-> a,c or g are evil
-> b,e or f evil -> e cant be evil -> b, or f evil
-> d,e good
-> a,f,h are possible demons -> h cannot be a demon since the two evils must be in the groups a,c,g and b,f
-> a, or f are possible demonscase 1: demon is a
- b is evil
this works, i see no contradictioncase 2: demon is f
- g is evil

This enrages the crab "NO YOUR INTERPRETATIONS ARE TRITE AND VERBOSE! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHH!!!!!"He tosses the monk right at you while attempting to scuttle away!!!If you thought the other monks would come to your aid, you are wrong sister! They have all started to accuse each other of having subpar interpretations while heralding their interpretations as the only GOOD interpretations!!!!>What do?
- duck and roll Oni! Give chase to that crab before he gets away!
- Catch the monk! Your first duty is to their safety!!!
- Throw a monk back at him!!
- Write in!!!

You snatch up the monk safely into your arms... Then toss him back where he came from! No thank you!

Through the crabs onslaught of attacks your swing hits home with an audible crack of shell! However its not enough to end the fight!

Nice try crab, it was a good IDEA but maybe the execution wasn't too good. Still, better to try and fail then never to try at all!-

Some time later, Yuki finds Oni in the cafeteria preparing meals for the monks. They have been in deep contemplation on what to do with the turn coat monk. After conducting and internal investigation into themselves, the monks found themselves to be at no fault!"Smells good, what are you cooking Oni?""I took the risk, in making some crab bisque!""Hmmm, ill just have the rice then.">What do?
- Oni gives Yuki the cold shoulder, she is upset with him and wont speak!
- Oni greets Yuki warmly and catches him up events as they took place

"hmmmm" Yuki contemplates what you told him for a long moment."Well Oni, that's good work! More then good, in fact its down right admirable! I didn't think the river spirit would have agreed to something like this, but I suppose you must have charmed him too! You would have made a top shelf investigator I think.""The only thing left to ask, is what do you need me to do?">What do?
- Yuki can be in charge of collecting broken arrows for everyone
- Yuki can figure out where to get the bottled rain
- Yuki can take charge of the monks and get the temple running
- Yuki can talk things out with the daimyo
- Nothing, he can just RELAX. Oni's got this one in the BAG
